The Grants Manager is a critical role for supporting the delivery of ISD’s ambitious programming in the US. ISD US has grown exponentially over the past three years and currently implements a portfolio of over 15 grants, funded by a range of philanthropic foundations and government departments.
This is a newly created role and reflects ISD’s ambition to continue scaling our operations in the US. The post holder will work closely with teams from across ISD US to ensure the efficient operational delivery of this varied portfolio of projects. The post holder will also connect into ISD’s global Project Operations team, managed out of ISD UK.
This is a critical role for ISD US, ensuring that project management and operational systems are applied across portfolio and that each and every grant is delivered on time, on budget and in compliance with ISD and donor requirements. The post holder will therefore play an important role through all stages of project design, development, delivery and reporting to ensure the highest quality and standards of output and operational efficiency.
The post-holder will report to ISD US’ Head of Operations, with dotted line reporting to the global Director of Project Operations. While this role is primarily US-focused, the post holder may be required to manage grants that touch on other geographies in which ISD operates globally.
